PREFACE. 


The  E-itual  adopted  by  the  Modern  Or- 
der of  Essenes  is  so  long  that  it  can  only  be 
learned  and  retained  by  constant  attend- 
ance at  the  meetings,  and  as  many  are 
so  situated  that  they  cannot  regularly 
attend,  they  soon  forget  much  that  they 
have  learned,  and  thus  lose  interest  in 
the  subject,  until  their  connection  with 
the  Order  becomes  merely  nominal,  or  is 
entirely  severed  in  default  of  the  payment 
of  dues. 

From  this  state  of  things  arises  the  need 
and  demand  for  some  means  of  refreshing 
and  aiding  the  memory,  outside  of  the 
^,  and  for  the  want  of  an  authentic  w^ork 
on  the  subject,  Essenes  are  availing  them-

selves  of  any  means  of  information  that 
comes  within  their  reach ;  hence  the  exten- 
sive sale  of  several  open  and  highly  errone- 
ous exposes,  that  are  sold  alike  to  membera 
of  the  Order  and  the  public  at  large.  To 
arrest  this  evil,  and  meet  the  demand  for 
a  work  that  is  both  accurate  and  legitimate, 
this  volume  has  been  prepared.

THE  ANCIENT  ESSENES. -ORIGIN  OF  THE 
ORDER. 


EssENE  from  the  Hebrew  root,  ^ffis)  (Esan, 
to  be  strong),  ^^'^id:si  (Essene)  because  they 
exhibited  strength  of  mind,  in  enduring 
suffering,  and  in  subduing  the  passions ;  the 
Essenes"^  were  an  order  of  the  Jews,  and 
the  fact  that  they  developed  themselves 
gradually,  and  at  first  imperceptibly,  through 
intensifying  the  prevalent  religious  doc- 
trines, renders  it  impossible  to  say  precisely 
at  what  time  they  were  detached  from  the 
general  body.  Josephus,  however,  speaks . 
of  them  as  existing  in  the  days  of  Jonathan 
tlie  Maccabsean,  b.c.  143  (Ant.  xiii.  5-9) ; 
he  also  mentions  an  Essene  who  delivered  a 
prophecy  in  the  reign  of  Aristobulus  I.,  b.c. 

■  *  See  Josephus.  — Kitto. 


106  (War  i.  3-5;  Ant.  xiii.  11-2),  and 
as  we  find  no  reliable  record  of  them  pre  - 
vious  to  B.C.  150,  that  is  doubtless  very 
near  the  date  of  the  origin  of  the  Order. 

When  thej  ultimately  withdrew  from  the 
rest  of  the  Jewish  nation,  the  majority  of 
them  settled  in  Samaria,  along  the  Jordan, 
and  the  rest  lived  in  scattered  commmiities 
throughout  Palestine. 

Both  Philo  and  Josephus  mention  them 
as  being  very  numerous  at  this  time. 

They  were  divided  into  two  classes — the 
first  devoting  themselves  to  a  life  of  con- 
templation, and  studying  the  mysteries  of 
nature  and  revelation ;  the  second  engag- 
ing in  some  daily  handicraft.  They  were 
ruled  by  a  Eabban,  assisted  by  a  Pabbi  and 
a  Eab,'^  who  were  chosen  by  the  whole 
body.  In  cases  of  trial,  however,  a  majority 
was  required  to  constitute  a  tribunal,  and 
the   brother  who  walked    disorderly    was 

*  Eabban,  from  the  Hebrew  r^ly  master. 
Rabbi,         *'      *'         "         h^a^,  a  teacher. 
Bab,  "      "         "        ^^,  assistant  teacher. 


excommunicated  ;  yet  he  was  not  regarded 
as  an  enemy,  but  was  admonished  as  a 
brother,  and  usually  received  back,  after 
due  repentance. 

They  divided  the  twenty-four  hours  into 
tln^ee  parts :  a  portion  of  which  was  devot- 
ed to  the  service  of  God  and  the  relief  of 
the  needy  and  distressed,  a  portion  to  their 
usual  avocations,  and  a  portion  for  refresh- 
ment and  sleep. 

They  rose  at  early  dawn,  and  offered  up 
the  national  prayer  for  the  return  of  the 
light  of  day,  after  which  they  betook  them- 
selves to  their  respective  vocations  and 
engagements,  under  the  superintendence  of 
the  Eabbans  and  Overseers.  At  the  sixth 
hour,  or  twelve  o'clock,  the  labor  of  the 
forenoon  terminated,  and  all  reassembled, 
bathed  in  cold  water,  after  which  they 
put  on  their  white  garments,  entered  their 
refectory  with  as  much  solemnity  as  if  it 
were  the  Holy  Temple,  and  sat  down  together 
in  mysterious  silence  to  the  common  meal. 
When  seated,  the  priest  invoked  God's  bless- 
ing upon  the  repast,  after  which  the  baker 


placed  before  each  one  a  small  loaf  of 
bread,  and  the  cook  a  dish  of  plain  food. 
At  the  conclusion  of  the  meal  the  priest 
offered  np  thanks  to  the  Bountiful  Supplier 
of  all  our  wants.  This  was  the  signal  of 
their  dismissal,  when  they  withdrew,  put 
off  their  white  garments,  and  resumed  labor 
again  until  the  eleventh  hour  (or  five 
o'clock,-  as  w^e  reckon  time).  On  the  Sabbath 
they  assembled  in  the  synagogues,  w^here 
they  w^ere  seated  according  to  their  age,  the 
younger  sitting  below  the  elder  in  becom- 
ing attire,  and  listening  with  due  attention 
Then  one  takes  up  the  Sacred  Volume  and 
reads  a  portion,  whilst  a  Kabbi  expounds. 

But  as  they  were  completely  esoteric  in 
their  doctrines,  they  omitted  the  most  mys- 
terious portions,  which  were  only  taught  in 
the  Hadoth,"^  or  place  of  secret  meetings. 

As  a  sect  they  were  distinguished  by  an 
aspiration  after  purity,  and,  like  the  Cha- 
sidim  of  earlier  times,  w^ere  confounded  in 

*  Hadoth,  from  tlie  Hebrew  Ti^i^Jn?  ^  place  of 
secret  meetingj  or  meeting  by  appointment.

tlie  popular  estimation  with  the  great  body 
of  the  zealous  observers  of  the  law.  The 
growth  of  Essenism  was  a  natural  result  of 
the  religious  feeling  which  was  called  out 
by  the  circumstances  of  the  Greek  domin- 
ion, and  it  is  easy  to  trace  the  process  by 
which  it  was  matured. 

From  the  Maccabsean  age  there  was  a 
continuous  effort  among  the  stricter  Jews 
to  attain  an  absolute  standard  of  Holiness. 
Each  class  of  devotees  was  looked  upon  as 
practically  impure  by  their  successors,  who 
carried  the  laws  of  purity  still  further; 
and  the  Essenes  stood  at  the  extreme  limit 
of  the  mystic  asceticism,  w^hich  was  thus 
gradually  reduced  to  shape. 

As  an  Order  they  were  distinguished 
by  the  following  principles  and  observ- 
ances : — 

A  love  of  truth  and  sobriety;  love  to 
God  and  man,  made  manifest  by  religious 
zeal  and  kindly  acts  towards  each  other; 
always  aiding  the  needy — and  to  this  end 
they  had  stewards  in  every  place  where 
they    dwelt,    to    supply    needy    brethren 


10 

with  food  and  raiment,  and  as  a  means  of 
recognition  they  had  certain  signs  and  pass- 
words, by  which  they  presently  recognized 
each  other. 

They  were  divided  into  three  grades,  or 
ranks,  and  when  a  candidate  applied  for 
admission  his  character  was  scrutinized 
with  the  greatest  severity,  and  if  fonnd 
worthy,  he  was  admitted  to  tlie  first  grade, 
when  he  was  presented  with  a  white  gar- 
ment and  girdle.  He  then  remained  in 
a  state  of  probation  and  trial  for  one  year, 
dnring  which  time,  although  he  lived  ac- 
cording to  their  customs,  he  was  not  ad- 
mitted to  their  secret  meetings.  At  the 
termination  of  this  period  he  was  advanced 
to  the  second  rank,  with  its  consequent 
rights  and  privileges;  but  he  was  not  ad- 
mitted to  full  fellowship  with  them  until 
after  another  year  of  probation,  when,  if 
still  found  worthy,  he  was  advanced  to  the 
third  rank,  and  invested  with  all  of  the 
signs,  pass- words,  and  privileges  of  the 
Order. 

On  his   admission  he   was   required    to 


11 

take  upon  himself  a  solemn  oath  or  ob- 
lio-ation,  the  heads  of  which  were  as  fol- 
lows : — 

To  exercise  piety  towards  God  and  justice 
towards  men ;  to  slum  the  wicked  and  emu- 
late the  good ;  to  show  fidelity  and  obedience 
to  those  in  authority ;  to  be  a  lover  of  truth 
and  a  reprover  of  falsehood;  to  keep  his 
hands  clean  from  theft,  and  his  soul  from  un- 
lawful gains ;  to  conceal  nothing  from  the 
Order,  nor  disclose  any  of  their  secrets  to 
any  one  in  any  other  manner  than  he  receiv- 
ed them  himself ;  and,  lastly,  to  carefully 
guard  and  preserve  the  Sacred  Books  and 
Symbols  belonging  to  the  Order. 

Modern  Essenism. 
On  the  revival  of  Essenism  and  its  intro- 
duction into  this  country,  the  principles  of 
the  ancient  sect  were  adopted  by  the  new 
Order  here  as  a  basis  of  their  creed  and 
government,  together  with  the  following 
Eitual,^  which  is  liere   given  to   assist  us 

*  While  the  modern  order  has  retained  the  name 
(Essenes)  and  principles  of  the  ancient  sect,  still  it 


13 

in  hecoming  hright  and  zealous  workers 
on  tliat  symbolic  structure  here  below, 
to  the  end  that  we  all  may  be  the 
better  enabled  to  eventually  enter  that 
Spiritual  Building — that 'House  not  made 
with  hands,  eternal  in  the  heavens. 

Now,  as  in  the  ancient  time,  the  candi- 
date for  admission  to  the  Order  has  to  pass 
through  a  novitiate  of  two  stages  of  twelve 
months  each. 

On  his  admission  to  the  first  grade, 
the  following  rites  and  ceremonies  are  ob- 
served : — 

First.  The  Uabban  ascends  the  dais  and 

.  calls  the  brethren  to  order,  and  commands 

the  Rab  to  see  that  all  of  the  approaches  to 

the  Iladoth  are  duly  guarded,  so  that  the 

profane  may  not  gain  admission. 

Then  the  Eabbi  invokes  the  blessing  of 

was  found  necessary  to  materially  modify  the  ritual, 
in  order  to  adapt  it  to  the  present  state  of  civilization. 
The  rites  and  ceremonies  of  this  Order  likewise  essen- 
tially differ  from  those  practised  by  a  society  of 
Essenes  in  this  country,  who  are  strictly  a  religious, 
sect.

all  in  reverence  bow),  and  closes  with  Amen, 
to  which  all  respond,  Amen.    So  mote  it  be.

E.ABBAN. — ^What  was  the  manner  of  teach- 
ing among  Ancient  Essenes  ? 

Sw. — They  taught  their  more  important 
doctrines  in  secret,  and  philosophized  on 
most  tilings  in  symbols. 

Eabban. — ^Where  do  Essenes  meet  at  the 
present  day  ? 

Sw.-^— In  the  Hadoth. 

*  Many  of  the  words  in  this  Eitual  have  been  abbre- 
viated. This  has  been  done  for  two  reasons.  First, 
to  present  the  subject  in  as  condensed  and  conve- 
nient a  form  as  possible.  Second,  as  it  renders  the 
reading  somewhat  difficult,  it  will  the  better  fix  the 
va/riou8  rites  and  ceremonies  in  the  memory.

thus  assembled  to-night.

SUCCOTH. 


When  the  Patriarch  Jacob  was  on  his  way 
from  Peniel  to  Shechem,  he  made  booths 
for  shelter  during  a  halt  in  the  Jordan 
valley,  which  gave  the  name  to  the  place — • 
Succoth  (booths).  In  the  distribution  among 
the  Tribes,  Succoth  fell  to  the  Tribe  of 
Gad,  and  was  therefore  on  the  East  side  of 
the  Jordan. 

The  people  refused  to  assist  Gideon  on  his 
pursuit  of  the  Midianite  Sheiks  Zebah  and 
Zalmunna,  and  77  of  their  chief  rulers  were 
killed  by  him  on  his  return.  (Judges  viii.) 

The  vessels  of  the  Temple  were  cast 
in    the    clay    grounds    between     Succoth 


84 

and  Zeredathah  ;*  this  place  was  not 
far  from  Jericho,  in  the  valley  of  the 
Jordan  {KiJckar),  The  deep  clay  banks 
are  well  adapted  for  moulding  and  casting 
large  and  fine  work,  and  the  clay  is  now 
carried  away  for  such  purposes  to  Jerusalem 
and  other  cities. 

The  view  is  in  the  valley  of  Jordan, 
looking  South  towards  the  Dead  Sea,  from 
a  point  a  few  miles  North  of  Jericho,  where 
Zarthan  is  now  located,  at  the  hill  of  Kum 
Surtabeh. 

*■  2  Chron.,  iv.  17,  Zeredathah.

THE  ESSENES'  GATE. 


The  importance  and  influence  of  the 
Order  of  Essenes  is  seen  in  the  fact  of  a 
gate  of  the  city  of  Jerusalem  being  named 
after  them. 

The  Gate  of  the  Essenes  (described  by 
Josephus,  Wars,  v.  iv. ;  2)  was  on  Zion, 
as  you  go  south  from  the  present  Zion  gate, 
following  the  path  around  the  tomb  of 
David.  A  slight  depression  of  the  ground  is 
perceptible  near  the  brow  of  the  hill  looking 
south  towards  the  valley  of  Hinnom ;  at 
this  spot  was  the  Gate  of  the  Essenes. 
There  are  no  ruins  above  ground,  and  no 
•elics  of  any  kind  remaining  from  which  to 
form  an  idea  of  its  appearance. 


218 
THE  GATES  OF  THE  TEMPLE.* 

THE  SOUTH  GATE. 

In  the  south  wall  of  the  Temple  area  is  a 
double  gate,  now  walled  up,  and  called  the 
Fluldah  Gate  (from  the  Talmud).  This  is 
built  of  very  large  stones,  especially  inside, 
and  has  an  entrance  hall  50  feet  long  by  40 
wide,  leading  to  a  passage  (by  a  flight  of 
nine  stone  steps)  250  feet  long,  which  (by 
another  flight  of  three  steps)  conducts  tc 
the  area  above. 

"  In  the  centre  of  the  entrance  hall  there  is 
a  column  formed  of  a  single  block  oi 
marble,  which  supports  the  spring  of  four 
arches  (on  which  rest  four  domes) ;  the 
height  is  21  feet,  and  the  diameter  6  feet  and 
3  inches.  There  is  no  monument  of  anti- 
quity in  Jerusalem  that  is  more  interesting 
than  this  relic  of  the  Jewish  builders  of  the 
days  of  Solomon. 

*  The  works  of  the  following  scholars  and  travellers 
may  be  referred  to  on  this  subject  : 
City  of  the  Great  King.     Dr.  Barclay. 
Robinson's  Biblical  Besearches^  and 
Rawson's  Bible  Hand-book.

THE  WEST  GATE. 


A  few  years  since.  Dr.  Barclay  (City 
of  the  Great  King,  page  489)  dicovered, 
after  it  had  been  hidden  by  rubbish  and 
buildings,  the  west  gate  of  the  Temple. 
The  engraving  shows  only  a  part  of  the 
lintel  of  this  gate,  and  only  this  much  can 
be  seen,  for  the  authorities  have  not  yet 
permitted  a  further  examination  of  the 
place.  The  stone  shown  measures  20  feet 
long  by  6  feet  9  inches  thick.  The  Temple 
site,  about  twenty  feet  above  the  inside  of 
the  gateway,  is  occupied  by  modern  build- 
ings, which  hide  nearly  all  the  ancient  work, 
only  leaving  bare  the  arched  top  and  edge 
of  the  lintel. 


220 


THE  EAST  GATE. 


The  entrance  to  the  Temple  enclosure  on 
the  east  is  now  walled  up  and  kept  closed 
by  the  Mohammedans,  because  of  a  supersti- 
tious fear  that  the  Christians  will  enter  the 
city  by  that  gate  and  drive  them  out. 

The  style  is  ancient,  and  its  interior  is 
ornamented  with  rich  and  elaborate  car- 
vings in  the  Grecian  style. 

The  length  is  70  feet,  and  breadth  55,  and 
it  projects  6  feet  beyond  the  wall ;  two 
3olumns  divdde  it  into  a  double  arcade, 
lighted  at  the  west  end  by  two  domes. 
The  effect  is  grand  and  imposing. 

The  columns  are  formed  out  of  a  single 
block  of  marble,  and  the  walls  are  eleven 
feet  thick.  A  grand  stairway  of  massive 
stone  blocks  leads  from  the  gate  up  to  the 
platform,  which  is  25  feet  above. 

The  Crusaders  called  this  the  GOLDEN 
GATE  (Porta  Aurea). 


EAST   GATE. 


221 


ANCIENT  TALENT.* 
The  Talent  was  a  denomination  or 
weight  of  gold,  silver,  or  copper,  usually  of 
a  circular  form.  At  the  time  of  the  build- 
ing of  the  Temple  its  weight  and  value  was 
as  follows : 

f  The  Hebrew  Gold  Talent  weighed..  .1,320,000  grs. 
**  ^'        SUver     *'•  ''  660,000    '' 

"•  Persian  Gold  "  "  400,000    '' 

**  Babylonian  Silver  Talent  wei^-hed   959,000    ** 
(  **  American  Gold  Dollar,  coinage  of 

1855 25.8") 

*  The  Talent  (133)  means  a  circle  or  globe,  here 

denoting  a  circular  mass  of  metal,  or  aggregate  sum.

Rawson's  Bible  Hand-book.

Ill  case  of  the  death,  inability,  or  absence 
of  the  Wr.,  or  a  vacancy  in  his  oflSce,  the 
S.  and  J.  W.ns  will  in  succession  succeed 
to  his  prerogatives  and  duties  for  all  pur- 
poses ;  and  in  case  of  the  absence  of  either 
of  the  W.ns.  the  Wr.,  will  appoint  some 
one  to  temporarily  fill  his  place.
